[PATCH 05/12] perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Tue Aug 07 2012 - 09:21:45 EST


Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger
the dump of the user level stack on sample. The size of the
dump is specified by sample_stack_user value.

Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the
stack pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI
based stack unwinding.

Added HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP config option to determine if
the architecture provides user stack dump on perf event samples.
This needs access to the user stack pointer which is not unified
across architectures. Enabling this for x86 architecture.
